SunPulse 10k UVA/Blue Lamps for final 2 weeks of flowering???

xivex · Oct 27, 2010

Hi RIU,

http://www.sunpulselamps.com/index....&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=5

Does anyone have any experience using these new SunPulse 10k Lamps? They are supposed to "UVA/Blue" lamps to use the last 2 weeks of flowering to increase THC production.

I'm curious if they are worth the $125/lamp (retail).

Anyone used them?

Thanks,

X

I emailed their tech support to ask about these lamps. We'll see what info they provide. Their website is fucking worthless.

Dan from SunPulse lamps emailed me back regarding SunPulse's 10k mH "UVA/BLUE" lamp. Here is what he had to say in his email (semi helpful but again not very useful):

Code:

Hello,
 
Our lamps all have UVA, UVB and the upper part of UVC, to best replicate natural sunlight as best we can as humans trying to make light for plants and living things.
 
When the industry uses the word "blue" its referring to the blue light as seen by the human eye. The lamps have more output in the blue end of the spectrum. Understand that blue light is particle science. You can't get a wavelength of a particle. So the way the industry expresses blue light in a wavelength is actually not scientifically valid. Plants just want the Sun. Millions of years of evolution says so.
 
The lamps have been out 10 years. We have two technical white papers in the literature section of our website I know you will find of interest.
 
Let me know if you have any other questions.
 
Regards,
Dan

This is link he is referring to for the technical white papers:

They aren't very specific or what I was looking for....very generic and high level overview, not enough specifics for my tastes....Sigh..

IMHO ..sun pulse is basically just saying "hey we've had these awesome lamps out for 10 years now..they are great." Trying to skirt the technical data/issues..

This is the response I got from Dan on the same topic. I personally know someone who uses these and says they are effective and highly recommended them to me.

"The 10k lamps are what we call the "finishing" lamp. At a certain point, you won't make any more flowers, and its time to let the plant ripen and finish. The 10K lamp has high UV's to create a certain amount of UV stress for the plant as well. It sends the NADPH's and ATP's into a different reaction cycle. Like UV's bring the oils out in your skin when you go into the Sun, the same effect happens to the plants bringing out those essential oils. Once you try it, you'll see why it was worth it, and you'll see the differences immediately.

Photosynthesis is a complex subject, if you'd like to learn more, I recommend the book Photosynthesis by Hall & Rao."
